I want to retrieve values with localforage and store them in a dictionary.
I've been trying this:
localforage.setItem('foo', 'bar');
baz = {
foo: await localforage.getItem('foo')
}
console.log(baz.foo);
but it keeps giving me Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier (at test.js:3:13) marking localforage.getItem('foo') on Line 3
When I enter this on console, it works as expected and prints bar
You should call the getItem in an async function to use await. Also, localforage.setItem returns a Promise, so you should use await to make it synchronous
async function doWork() {
await localforage.setItem('foo', 'bar');
baz = {
foo: await localforage.getItem('foo')
}
console.log(baz.foo);
}
doWork()
